Shepherds Pie, a hearty dish originating from the United Kingdom, is traditionally made with ground lamb, vegetables, and a topping of mashed potatoes. The rich, savory flavors of the meat and vegetables, combined with the creamy, buttery potatoes, require a wine that can stand up to the robustness of the dish while also complementing its earthy undertones. The wine should also have enough acidity to cut through the richness of the dish, providing a refreshing contrast. A red Languedoc-Roussillon from France, known for its blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre grapes, would be an excellent choice. This wine is full-bodied and robust, with a dark fruit profile and spicy undertones that would complement the savory flavors of the Shepherds Pie. Its tannins, which can be described as the dry, puckering sensation in the mouth, would provide a nice balance to the richness of the dish. An Argentinian Malbec, a wine known for its deep, dark fruit flavors and velvety texture, would also pair well with Shepherds Pie. The wines bold flavors and medium to high tannins would stand up to the hearty meat and vegetables, while its underlying notes of spice and earth would echo the dishs savory elements. A Côtes du Rhône from France, typically made from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes, would be another good match. This wine is medium-bodied with flavors of red and black fruit, pepper, and earthy undertones. Its moderate acidity and tannins would provide a refreshing contrast to the dishs richness, while its earthy flavors would complement the savory components of the Shepherds Pie.

What wine goes with Shepherd pie?
Pinot Noir is an excellent wine pairing with Shepherd Pie as the earthy tones of mushroom and forest floor of this red wine complement the gravy’s earthy texture and notes. Meanwhile the fruity acidity cuts through the gravy, veggies and bread crust where it can zero in and elevate the tender lamb flavours.

What wine goes well with cottage pie?
* A southern French red like the ever-versatile Côtes-du-Rhône Villages or a named village wine like Vacqueyras is always a good match – with shepherd’s or cottage pie. PS Look, I’m not saying you need a totally different type of wine for cottage pie but the filling often tends to be more like a bolognese sauce – or more tomatoey, at any rate.
